Ingredients
Scale
Protein:
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts
Spices and Seasonings:
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Liquid and Cooking Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 3 cups (710 milliliters) chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
Sauce Components:
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 0.25 cup (60 milliliters) heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon butter
Noodles and Garnish:
- 2 packs ramen noodles (fresh or dried)
- 1 green onion, chopped (for garnish)
- 1 teaspoon chili oil (optional, for extra heat)
Instructions
- Transform chicken with a fiery spice blend of chili powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Allow the seasoning to infuse for 15 minutes at room temperature.
- Sear marinated chicken in a hot skillet with oil at medium-high heat for 5-7 minutes on each side until golden and thoroughly cooked. Rest meat briefly before slicing.
- Create luxurious garlic cream sauce by gently melting butter, then adding minced garlic and sautéing until fragrant. Introduce heavy cream and simmer until slightly thickened.
- Prepare ramen noodles in rapidly boiling water following package guidelines. Drain and set aside, ensuring noodles remain tender and separate.
- Craft a spicy broth by heating sesame oil and sautéing garlic until aromatic. Pour in chicken broth, soy sauce, and heavy cream. Simmer for 5-7 minutes to develop rich flavors.
- Construct ramen bowls by layering cooked noodles as a base. Cascade spicy broth over noodles, strategically arrange sliced chicken, and generously drizzle with creamy garlic sauce.
- Elevate the dish with vibrant garnishes of chopped green onions and an additional splash of chili oil for heightened heat. Serve immediately while piping hot.
Notes
- Customize the spice level by adjusting chili powder and chili oil to suit personal heat tolerance.
- For a lighter version, swap heavy cream with coconut milk or low-fat yogurt to reduce calories and fat content.
- Marinate chicken overnight for deeper flavor penetration and more tender meat texture.
- Create a vegetarian alternative by replacing chicken with tofu or roasted mushrooms, maintaining the recipe’s rich, spicy profile.
